District 6C Building Plan Told;
Studied by Board for 60 Days
Central Point-The nistrir
6C school board this week
called an election Thursday,
Feb. 4, on a $295,000 bond is
sue to finance a building pro
gram planned to meet rec
ommendations and standards
for elementary schools set up
by the state department of
education.
The proposal follows a 60
day study of district building
needs completed recently by
the board.
In its study, the board had
the assistance of the archi
tectual firm of James Payne
of Salem, and his local rep
resentative, Wayne Struble.
Several building sketches
and proposals of district
needs were considered before
the board decided to initiate
a building program to ade
quately meet the educational
needs of the pupils in the
district.
The long-range plan for the
H. P. J e w e 1 1 elementary
school is for an eventual unit
housing grades one through
six.
Present Proposal
The present proposal, how
ever, to immediately allevi
ate over-crowded conditions
at the Central Point Ele
mentary and Junior High
school site is to leave Jewett
as a primary unit, that is to
house grades one through
three.
Eight additional classrooms
will be required at Jewett
school. They will include six
rooms to house approximate
ly 180 third graders.
A seventh room will enable
the 525 to 550 youngsters,
who will be attending next
year, to have a full size cen
tral library available for their
use at all times. The present
room, which is now shared as
a library and an audo-visual
unit, will be set up as a full
time audio-visual room, school
board members said.
Establishment of the two
units will meet recommenda
tions of the state department
of education.
Special Education
Another recommendation of
the state department will
have been met, board mem
bers said, when the eighth
room is organized as a spe
cial education or remedial
classroom. The special educa
tion program will be avail
able to pupils within the dis
trict who require an individ
ualized type of instruction.
In conjunction with the
eight classrooms, there will
be two rest room areas, a
storage room and 2,500 square
feet of covered walkway. The
latter will be used as a phy
sical education area and play
space for students when they
need protection from inclem
ent weather, board members
noted.
Board members pointed out
that by teaching the third
grade at Jewett school dur
ing the 1960-61 year, it will
alleviate extremely crowded
conditions at the Central
Point elementary and Junior
High site, which is presently
accomodating some 950 pu
pils. School Population
The school population at
Central Point Junior High
and Elementary school is
again about equal to the pu
pil population at the time
Jewett school was construct
ed. This, board members said,
reflects a continuous rapid
pupil population growth in
the area. , .
By moving the third grade
to Jewett, the district will
be able to improve the per
pupil space allotment both in
the classrooms and on the
playground. Present state ed
ucation standards for elemen
tary school playgrounds are a
five-acre site with an addi
tional acre for each 100 pu
pils. Building plans at the Cen
tral Point Junior High and
Elementary school site in
clude the conversion of the
present library room to a
cafeteria. This, board mem
bers noted, will correct the
present lunchroom situation.
500 Pupils Daily
At the present, about 500
pupils are daily rushed
through a cafeteria built to
accommodate 90 to 100 pupils.
The main floor of the pres
ent library building will be
come a dining area to accom
odate 200 students at one sit
ting. The present stage area
will be converted into a
kitchen adequate to care for
the large number of pupils
participating in the school
lunch program, members said.
To continue an adequate
library program, a new li
brary 32 by 45 feet will be
built adjacent to the present
library room. The new build
ing also will include , a work
area, audio-visual room and
have a covered walk way.
The building will be so con
structed and located that it
will fit into any future plan
ning the board may take into
consideration for a new jun
ior high school building.
Plans for the Margaret E.
Patrick school in Gold Hill
includes four additional class
rooms, three of which will
house fourth and fifth grade
pupils. The fourth room will
be used as a central library.
This will meet state depart
ment recommendations, the
board said.
Additional Rest Rooms
In conjunction with the
classrooms are two additional
rest rooms, a janitor's supply
closet and a multi-purpose
room, which will be complete

with a stage and cafeteria
kitchen.
The multi-p u r p o s e room
will eliminate the loss of time
and expense that has occur
red daily to transport Patrick
children to Hanby school for
a cafeteria lunch. It also will
make unnecessary many ad
ditional trips to Hanby school
to participate in program
practices, school assemblies
and physical education classes
requiring a gymnasium floor,
the board noted.
The multi-purpose room al
so will be available to the
community to support activ
ities in that area, the board
added.
Transferring the fourth and
fifth grades to Patrick school
will give Hanby school a room
to hold the extra eighth
grade which will be neces
sary in the 1960-61 school
year, the board said.
It also will enable Hanby
to have a central library unit
as recommended by the state
department of education. The
home making classes, except
the cooking classes, will be
able to use a . better lighted
and larger classroom. Home
making classes are now held
in a small, inadequate base
ment room, board members
said.
The proposed building pro
gram is planned to meet rec
ommendations and standards
of the state department of
education.
Wilderness Bill
Tops Agenda for
Senate Committee
Washington-(Science Serv-
ice)-A revised and re-worked
wilderness bill is at the top
of the Senate Interior Com
mittee's agenda this year.
If the bill - S-1123 is its
Congressional number suc
cessfully passes the commit
tee room hurdle as expected,
it will be acted upon by the
whole Senate, then by the
House of Representatives.
Early favorable consideration
by the House Interior commit
tee is also essential if the
wilderness bill is to be enact
ed at the 1960 session of Con
gress. The bill, which has been
opposed largely by lumber,
mining, livestock and oil in
dustries, and road and dam
builders, has been worked on
for more than two years now
as supporters of the legisla
tion have sought to answer
all possible objections. Effec
tively the wilderness bill is
designed to give "legal" Con
gressional recognition to the
nation's irreplaceable wilder
ness resources - land and wa
terways now free of commer
cial exploitation and in an
"untouched" condition.
Gives Public Voice
It will thus give the public
who owns these lands a voice
in determining what happens
to wilderness. It would be im
possible, if the bill is passed,
for a bureau chief or a cabi
net officer to abolish or re
duce a wilderness area by ex
ecutive order. No new agency
or council would be created.
The bill would affect fed
eral areas already in parks,
forests or refuges valued as
wilderness but lacking Con
gressional sanction as wilder
ness. Before the end of February
is the expected date for Sen
ate committee action. With a
favorable report likely, pro
ponents of the wilderness bill
are optimistic about its be
coming law this year.

Statewide Series
Of Seminars on
Pharmacy Slated
Cprvallis-Plans for a state
wide series of pharmacy sem
inars designed to give Ore
gon's 1,300 practicing phar
macists current " information
on new products and prac
tices, have been announced
by the Oregon State college
school of pharmacy.
Seminars will be held in
12 areas of the state, accord
ing to Dr. Charles O. Wilson,
new pharmacy school dean.
Information meetings will be
held at six of the locations
each year, in addition to an
annual seminar which will be
rotated between Portland and
Corvallis.
The first seminar will be
before the Marion-Polk Phar
maceutical association in Sa
lem next month. A second
meeting has been planned for
the Lane County Pharmaceuti
cal association in Eugene and
three additional seminars will
be held in other areas before
June, Dean Wilson said.
To Direct Program
Herman C. " Forslund, pro
fessor of pharmacy, will di
rect the program. All phar
macy staff members will par
ticipate in presenting the spe
cial reports.
"The need for a program
of continued education in
pharmacy is great," Dean Wil
son noted. "Advancements in
medicine have been tremen
dous during the past decade
and even greater progress is
seen during the next few
years. New products currently
are being introduced at the
rate of one a day."
"The pharmacist must be
an expert on these new and
complex agents antibiotics,
steriods, geriatric prepara
tions, vaccines, anti-cancer
drugs, etc. and serve as a
cons ultant to physicians,"
Dean Wilson added.
The seminars will serve to
keep pharmacists abreast of
new products and also pre
sent new trends in business
aspects of drug store manage
m e n t, including new tech
niques in inventory control
and marketing, he explained.

Leon's T0TS-T0-TEENS
105 EAST MAIN
Fort Madison, Iowa - (UPB -i
A 76-year-old retired railroad
man recently settled a 37-year-old
repair bill of 14 cents
by sending a $2 money order
to cover the money he owed
plus compound interest and a
$1 bill "to cover unnecessary
expense."
"I had no intention of de
frauding your company,"
wrote R. M. Frantz of Big
Rapids, Mich., to the W. A.
Sheaffer Pen Co., enclosing a
repair invoice dated July 24,
1922, "but did that which was
about as bad - I failed to set
tle an old bill."
The firm returned the $3 to
Frantz and sent him a new
pen to replace the one repair
ed more than 37 years ago.
Einstein Theory
Confirmed by
Year-Long Tests
New York - (Science Serv
ice) Year-long tests, believed
the most precise yet made,
have confirmed preliminary
results by the same method
that Einstein's special theory
of relativity, is correct.
The experiments showed no
measurable variation in ' fre
quency of radio waves radi
ated by ammonia molecules
as the earth moved around
the sun during a year. Ein
stein's special theory postu
lated that the velocity of
light, 186,000 miles a second,
is independent of its frame of
reference or of the motion of
the light source itself. It also
applies to radio waves, which
travel at the speed of light.
Experiment's Results
Results of the experiments,
conducted at , Columbia uni
versity at the suggestion of
Nobel Prize winner Dr.
Charles H. Townes, ' are re
ported in Nature, a British
scientific publication. His as
sociates found that, at most,
less than one-thousandth of
the earth's velocity around
the sun could affect the speed
of light propagation.
High precision of the tests
was possible by using two
masers. The coined word ma
ser stands for "microwave
amplification by stimulated
emission of radiation." Pre
vious experiments, starting
with the classic Michelson
Morley tests, have confirmed
Einstein's theory but not as
precisely as the present test.
